New Age

The faux-naivete of paganism-animism-shamanism is at odds with biology-ecology, which must come first. Pagan-indigenous lore can provide material from which to create alternative mythoi, but ecological religion is a New Religious Movement, and must be directly relevant to the present ecological catastrophe, so it must be founded in ecological biology. Nostalgic Romantic spirituality just isn't in itself enough. So while ecological religion has pagan roots, it is not Pagan, but New Age-- and the New Age can only be the Age of Ecology (Edhlifrith Aldur).
